Ten Questions Worth Considering

BY ARLENE HARDER

If you have read the Q-and-A Club, the blog, and Ask Yourself Questions and Change Your Life, you know that I believe questions are excellent vehicles for better understanding ourselves and others. So I created ten questions (one of which came from a vote for the ninth question), which I intended to use for interviewing authors and others whose books, websites, occupations, and stories I thought would interest my readers.

However, after I assembled these questions, it seemed that an even better idea would be to allow everyone — no matter what profession, age, accomplishments, or experience — to provide answers to these questions, for they are definitely worth being considered by everyone.

I believe the answers to these questions (no matter who they come from) will also be worth reading. And it may even be that in a couple years I'll assemble the answers and publish them in an e-book. Therefore, anyone who comes to the website is invited to consider these questions and send me the answers.

Guidelines for submitting your answers to the questions below:

1. Before you start answering the questions, I recommend you print out this page. You may want to first write your answer in a word document and copy the answers into the form when you have all of them finished.

2. Consider each question carefully. At the present time I don't have a limit on the length of the answers, so write whatever you would like. Just make sure you answer every question.

3. Provide a brief statement about yourself in the last box to help people know a little more about you. This information will accompany the answers published on Support4Change. If people are interested in knowing more, they can contact you at the link you supply.

4. If you want to have your answers published on Support4Change (and perhaps in a book in a few years), you will need to give me your full name. No alias accepted.

5. Make certain your email address is correct. I will be in contact with you before I actually publish the answers online and want to be sure I can reach you. Unfortunately, I often write a reply to someone who has asked me a question only to discover they've given an incorrect address. I'd hate to have you take the time you will need to consider the questions and not be able to get back to you so I can publish your answers.

6. When you click the Submit Form button below, you will be taken to a page that has one of those funny boxes with mixed up letters and/or numbers. Just type in what you see and you'll be shown a page with your answers. You can review them and change whatever you'd like.

7. Once you have approved of the answers and sent the form, you will receive an automatic reply.

8. When you have finished submitting your answers, you will be taken to the home page of Support4Change. Since this page is designed to be opened in a new browser window, you should be able to get back to Special Features (or other page where you were when you started filling out the form).

NOTE: Sometimes bugs creep into new features and they need to be taken care of. So I would appreciate it if you contacted me by using the Contact Us page and letting me know if you have any problems with the form.

Please provide information you would like to have included with the answers published on Support4Change. Be sure to give some way that people can get in touch with you if they would like. If you have a website, this will give you a chance to reach a broader audience.

Please send this page to anyone who you think would be interested in answering these questions.
